The Sanctuary is one of Delray Beach's most exclusive gated enclaves, where estate homes sit on generous lots and Intracoastal-adjacent waterways define the setting. Homes here run large — the median size is over 8,000 square feet — and the community leans toward waterfront living, with pools and privacy the norm rather than the exception. If you want the polish of Delray Beach homes for sale at the very top of the market, this is that tier.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, high-dollar market: just seven active listings, priced from $4,495,000 to $22,990,000, with a median list of $11,950,000. Properties take time to move — the median days on market sits at 268 — so patience and precision both matter. Compare the pace here to more active nearby communities like Kings Point In Delray Beach or Pines Of Delray North, and browse the current inventory on the live map.

Straight answers
The Sanctuary FAQs
Is The Sanctuary a good place to live?+
It's built for buyers who want space, privacy, and a waterfront lifestyle — the median home runs over 8,000 square feet and most listings sit on the water. It's a gated, estate-scale community rather than a walkable neighborhood, so it suits those prioritizing seclusion. For more everyday options nearby, communities like Delray Colonial offer a different pace.
Is The Sanctuary expensive?+
Yes — this is the top of the Delray Beach market. Every one of the seven active listings is priced above $1 million, the median list is $11,950,000, and the average price per square foot is $1,583.
What do homes cost in The Sanctuary?+
Current listings range from $4,495,000 to $22,990,000, with a median list price of $11,950,000. Given the estate-scale median size of about 8,230 square feet, that works out to roughly $1,583 per square foot on average.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slow, low-inventory market — just seven homes are active, and no homes have sold in the past 12 months. The median days on market is 268, so buyers here should expect a longer runway and sellers should plan for patience. For a faster-moving alternative nearby, look at Delray Manor.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA figures aren't currently reported for the active listings, but property taxes reflect the estate price points — the median annual tax bill is $56,854. Buyers should budget for carrying costs that scale with these multi-million-dollar valuations.
